Choose Your Own Adventure
Whether it’s getting in shape, finally quitting our job, making new friends, or trying that new class we’ve had our eye on, sometimes making the right choice puts us in an uncomfortable situation. Sometimes it puts us in uncomfortable situations over and over again.
Sometimes this takes the form of social pressure: so often we hear from those who are trying to get healthy are regularly pressured by friends to eat or drink a certain way because they “earned it” or because they should “live a little.”
And it’s not just social pressure: starting an exercise habit isn’t easy. Stepping into the gym for the first time can be incredibly intimidating. Being new and returning day after day takes some grit. Sometimes we need 20 seconds of courage to make the leap. Sometimes we need a bigger push out the door.
For hundreds of people, that’s Camp Nerd Fitness.
As most of you know, Camp Nerd Fitness takes place this September in the mountains of North Georgia. We’re bringing together hundreds of the Rebellion’s finest (that’s you) along with 17 of our most trusted and inspiring instructors(affectionately known as Headmasters), to spend a couple of days together learning crazy new skills like sword fighting, parkour, and weight lifting. From mental health to meal prep to confidence and everything in between, this is a dedicated space to level up.
We are down to the wire: sales will end July 22, or until our last 25 tickets are spoken for. Camp is a week out of the year where you are allowed and encouraged to choose yourself first. In normal life, that choice isn’t so easy, but at Camp, you create your own path to level up in a way that energizes and motivates you, and unbuttons the potential buried inside all of us.
Regular life tells us that jobs and spouses and kids and dozens of other things are more important than choosing yourself. Today we want to prove that when you’re in charge of your own destiny, great adventure and growth awaits.
The choices are yours and yours alone. Are you ready?
Choose Your Path
*thud*
You trip to the ground after catching your foot on a tangled root. On your hands and knees, you shake your head, disoriented, and look around.
“Where am I?” you think, “I was in the middle of reading one of Steve’s articles…and now I’m in the…forest? What happened?”
Beside you on the ground you see a small velvet pouch with a note tied to it.
“I was charged with protecting this with my life. If you’re reading this, I failed. Its owner must be found.”
Peering down the pouch, you notice a small amulet tucked inside. You are overwhelmed with a sense of peace, excitement and power. You gaze deeper into the purple stone wanting to learn more when you hear a rustling in the tall grass. Something has noticed you.
You turn to run, but the creature is already behind you. The amulet is ripped from your hands as the creature darts off towards the hills.
You start to chase after him, but the little monster is too quick. You grow tired and slow down, watching him disappear into the forest.
Initially you think about giving up – deep down you KNEW you shouldn’t have opened your email today. But something in the back of your mind nudges you to keep trying, and you head toward the hill – beginning your journey to recover the stolen amulet.
As you climb the hill, you see a group of people LARPing among the trees. Their costumes are beautiful! “Wow, this is the most realistic LARP I’ve ever…” a broadsword cleaves a man in a ninja costume in half “…whoa.”
A knight whizzes by on his horse, his mare rearing up at you knocking you flat on the ground. Startled, you stand up, and back into a tree.
“What is your business here?” he demands.
“I…I’m searching for a stolen amulet…a little gobliny creature stole it and ran off this way” you stutter.
“Help end this fray and I shall aide you in your noble quest! You may fight under the guidance of Headmaster Dakao, Master of Swords, or with HeadmastersRachael and Rog, Masters of hand to hand martial arts. Both Knights and Ninjas have an even claim to the land, but you may tip the balance of the battle.”
You think to yourself ‘this is insane!’ but you know that to move forward, you’ll have to choose one. You’ve always dreamed of mastering skills you’ve loved in RPGs, novels, and the history of real fighters; this could be the moment you start to live out those dreams!
“So,” the knight says, “who will it be?”
